Animals have always played a part in my life, and especially after moving the countryside I have been able to gather influences from fairy-tale-like everyday life. I draw from everything I can. Observation leads to another, encounters a memory and gives birth to a new one. Despite their names, my images are ambiguous and familiar: happy, wild and serious all at the same time. They arise from the need to tell stories, where combining of visual art and design seems like the natural medium.
